Dee, sending you all the sticky vibes available in my arsenal for your precious little miracle. CONGRATULATIONS and you are right to call him or her a miracle because that is exactly what you have growing inside you.
I know exactly how you feel, my current pg was originally twins but I lost one very early on like you then had to live through an agonising wait while the pg was classified as fragile. But hey 34w now and a bigfoot is growing nicely.
Sometimes it gets hard emotionally but join the pregnant after miscarriage or loss thread... the girls are absolutely amazing and the best help you can get. Also PM me any time you need or want.
I have everything crossed for you but am sure you wont need it.

Dee I almost sprayed my cup of tea all over the monitor!! 8-[
Congratulations to your little baby for sticking in there. Wow! Praying he/she will grow strong and healthy, and that you and hubby will have time to grieve for your other precious little one too.
Congratulations again, and I'm off to get the chux cloth.... ;)

I can't imagine how you must be feeling; so sad yet elated at the same time??? I definately will be following this little miracle baby's progress until birth! ((((big hug)))) and REST! I know it's hard with a toddler but you've gotta ask for help and who could deny you? Your friends must be so thrilled for you! take care darl! :)

I'm so sorry though about the loss of your little one's twin...

-
I know this is really late but I just had to post a huge congratulations to you guys!!
I'd have to say it's the best news I've heard on BB yet! What a miracle!
We have friends who had a similar thing happen with their first child - he was a twin but they mc one of them very early in the pregnancy. Their next pregnancy was twins again and they both survived. It turns out that they are one of those couples that always produces twins! Uncanny!
Anyway... it sux that you had to lose one baby but it's great that there's another healthy one growing away in there!
Sheesh... are you glad you didn't go on a bender after the mc? That's probably something I would do, LOL.

:cryinglaugh: Christine - I hope I didn`t cause you to make too much mess.
Bathsheba - A`m I really the talk of BB at the moment 8-[ , I`m usually a quiet person and not one to stand out in a crowd!!!!! Yes now reality is setting in I`m finding I`m really missing my twin baby yet I`m finding it hard to cry for my loss I suppose I did all the crying 2 weeks ago when there was no hope for my pregnancy to continue.
Deb - That is amazing, I hope we can be fortunate again to be bless with twins
Thank you to you all, your words of support mean a lot, I`m quite scared about loosing this pregnancy and I feel I`m a long way off before I can breath a sigh of relief that I`m past the danger stage, I`m continuing to spot and at times like last night the spotting got quite heavy which worried me, I was thinking here we go, it`s still heavier then what I`d like this morning but I`m hoping it will ease off.
-
Dee hugs too you.
I am soo sorry for your loss.. But at the same time Congrats on having a lil bub in there. Sending you plenty of sticky vibes, and make sure you look after yourself
-
WOW Dee you must be feeling very overwhelmed at the moment I am very sorry for your loss and hope you feel better soon and that you have a very h&h pg my thoughts and [-o< are with you.
:bluestick: Please stick little one :pinkstick:
-
Dee,
I have only just caught up with your amazing news.
Congrats on your sticky bub but I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your little twin.
-
Hi Deeanne. I just heard your news.
I don't want to say too much because I followed your posts and see that you had a scan yesterday. I'm sooo hoping it's still good news.
In any case, I'm very sorry for your loss. I've read that it's actually very common, and often nobody is even aware that a pregnancy started off as twins.
-
Thank you girls, your thoughts mean a lot I often think about my little loss twin and he/she will forever be in my heart.
Yvette - Yes my OB said the same thing it`s quite common and as you say lots of women don`t even find out they lost one twin but nowadays with early ultrasounds more and more are being picked up. My 12 week appointment went well thank you, I was so worried as I also got servere gastro last week and had to be hospitalised for 48 hours on IV fluids but somehow through it all my little miracle baby is still hanging on, he/she must be a tough one that`s all I can say, it`s been a tough few weeks but I`m hoping now I can finally relax a little and start to enjoy this pregnancy.
-
Yaaaaay Dee :D I'm so glad that miracle baby of yours is still ok.
-
Fantastic, Dee. Good to hear that little miracle bubba is still fighting-fit. I bet the little thing comes out guns-a-blazin' when it's born, LOL. You may not know what has hit you ;)
-
Oh Deeanne I'm so happy for you. The gastro must have made you really worried. It's absolutely brilliant news that all is well with this baby.
I can barely imagine the rollercoaster emotional ride you've been having of late. I hope you can now relax & enjoy the rest of the pregnancy too, wrapped in cotton wool though.
There's a book called Having Twins by Elizabeth Noble you might be interested in. There's a section about losing a twin and the emotional impact on both the mother and the surviving twin. Not that you want to be negative or morbid about it, but I think she talks about the value of acknowledging. Just a thought anyway.
Best wishes!
-
Oh Deeanne....i am soooo happy that everything went well today at your OB's appt.
Take care Leah

Hi Dee
I just found your post and wanted to say that I know how you feel. We conceived twins through IVF but lost one before our 7 week scan. I had brown spotting for about a week before our scan so feared the worst, knowing there was a chance there were twins but not knowing. Anyway when we had our scan you could see one wee heartbeat going flat out but there was also the empty sac, you could still see the foetal pole at 12 weeks too. Its very sad and I think about it everyday but our other wee miracle is my focus at the moment.
Hope everything goes well for the rest of your pregnancy.

Dee, I am so happy everything is going well your little miracle baby. :D

Thanks Yvette - I`ll keep a lookout for that book, it`s great that there is a book out there which acknowledges the loss of a twin.
It sure has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions especially these last few days ever since my NT scan on Monday, I think it just all hit me that I should have been seeing two bubs and I`ve just got one but perhaps I`m being selfish and one is more then what I thought I had 7 weeks ago, sorry about the ramble just having a few emotional days about my loss.
NZ Girl - It`s really amazing how many girls there are on BB that have been through this, it`s hard and your emotions are all over the place as you would know.
